He has 20 years’ experience in recruitment with a specialisation in niche technologies, such as AI/ML and in the past Wireless and Semiconductors.

PAST

David set up European Recruitment in his spare bedroom and quickly hired, opening offices in Brighton initially, and Leeds in recent years. We now recruit for trillion$ businesses across the world, as well as exciting start-ups in stealth mode and everything in between.

TESTIMONIAL (summary in full here)

“Our Samsung android voice assistant (a voice-powered digital assistant for the Samsung Galaxy range) project had very aggressive ramp up figures of 0 to 190 across 3 major sites – Munich, Paris and Milan. European Recruitment placed 55 consultant SW engineers and technical leaders across all sites within 2 – 3 months. They quickly became the programs lead supplier (No.1 of 25 globally). They were able to work to extreme deadlines, working as a partner rather than an agency, staffing all areas including NLP, NLU, ASR and TTS. European Recruitment produced more quality applicants than any other agency on this program.” Director, Harman Connected Services
